So...
Success.

Sorry for the glare. This photo was taken with the cabinet face up on my workbench, with my LED shop light directly overhead.
I used a scrap piece of 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper and carefully sanded the areas with the drips.
I think it turned out very well indeed. I managed to knock down the drips to the point that they are (almost) level with the remainder of the surface, without burning through any toner...which was my goal.

I'm glad I had that scrap piece of 1000 grit paper on my workbench. I believe it was the perfect choice for doing this. I think that anything coarser would have burned through the toner.
The remnants of the drips are showing up more in the close-up photos under the bright LED light than they do when just looking at them.
I'm very pleased with how this has turned out. I feel that now, with subsequent coats of clear lacquer and careful wet sanding, that I will be able to get these areas to the point that they will barely show up if at all.
And I don't think I will need the Blender Flow-Out after all (even though I have it if I need it).
Success.
